Lets's calculate LCM of 142,1694
2 | 142, 1694 |
71, 847 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 71 x 847 = 120274
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/120274
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/142,8439/1694 is 3/120274
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 142,1694 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(142,1694) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(142,1694) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(142,1694) = ( 142 × 1694 ) / 2
LCM(142,1694) = 240548 / 2
LCM(142,1694) = 120274
